Everyone is entitled to an opinion but id wager the vast majority of those slamming Campbell were the same ones foaming at the mouth about Butler last year and wanting him gone before Xmas. They are probably the same ones who had the pitch forks ready after the app frod pre season game calling butler every name under the sun.
Patience required, for now.

Butler will stick his head in the sand as the daft pillock publicly declared Maison was his number one without even seeing him as first choice in pre season.
I suspect he’ll give him too many chances because if he brings another keeper in, he’s admitting he was wrong. We saw this play out last season with the 5 at the back, he was stubborn for too long then too.
I hope I’m wrong and Maison comes good, but I can’t see it, and pretty sure no many other fans can either. Only terrifying thing is that we have Watson to take the reigns. I wouldn’t call him a safe pair of hands by any means.
Not convinced by the keeper by any means , however Butler has more than enough credit in the bank in my eyes for us to show a little faith.
Fantastic result and start to the season; Butler has built a side that continues to find ways to win.
Hope it can encourage a few more down on Monday for a bumper attendance.

Thought we were value for money today- Woking looked a decent outfit in the middle of the park but lacked quality where it matters in both boxes; Butler got it spot on not pressing too high and allowing them to play through us.
Defence looked excellent, Boycey my MOTM for a second week running but you couldn’t really fault any of them. Horton impressed today and would be aggrieved to lose his place next game.
The lads look fit and well drilled, didn’t panic when Woking had their spells of possession and broke fast when given an opportunity; Howe right place, right time twice in quick succession was no coincidence.
Only negative really was the keeper error, a clean sheet at home would’ve done his confidence the world of good and the little he had to do in the game he did well. The jury is still out.
Overall more than happy with the opening 2 games though. Well done lads

Echo the comments above; thought we showed early on we could spray the ball about abit and played some neat stuff, inevitably it was always going to descend into a slugfest with their tactics and awful pitch.
We looked fit, sharp and desperate for the 3 points; I was happy with what I saw today. Individually impressed with Howe Ewing and starbuck, however my MOTM would go to Boycey.
For a league debut I thought Campbell did what was required- great save at the end to boost his confidence. Coming out for crosses and showing assertiveness in the box will come with time- he’s a big lad and needs to assert that physicality. Great reception for him at the end and I hope he enjoyed the moment.

There is potential for something like this to have legs if implemented correctly; personally thought we had enough fan representation with the Trust, podcast lads etc but if the club want something official in place then so be it. Hopefully all demographics are represented and club can get a true feel for what the mood is on the terrace and not just the loudest voices online.
With regards to The young drummer; he has done a good job at helping the atmosphere in the DRE, home games in recent years have consistently had a better atmosphere than we’ve ever had at GP. Good luck to him, he may need thicker skin than his drum once the online moaners start though.

Not a fan of the social media pile ons but this is surprising to say the least.
It does however confirm we don’t have a pot to piss in.

I know we are desperate for a £ note but read the room ffs.
Another PR blunder entering this

Not really sure on the logic with the GK situation, Campbell must be showing some serious competency in training to get the nod.
Personally think it’s a decision that could blow up in Butler’s face, perhaps a few months out on loan and brought back in later in the season may have been fairer on the lad to get him some game experience.
Hopefully he proves the doubters wrong though.
